Wiring woes

When you lay out a wiring loom on your living room floor it looks easy enough to see where all the connectors and parts need to go. Looking at this picture below you can see almost every connector and electrical component on the bike. In the middle is the headlight, computer and injection system. On the lefthand side are the control elements that will be placed on the steering. Looks simple, doesn't it? But when putting the wiring loom back on the bike it becomes a whole different story. 



I started out by putting the computer/ECU back onto the bike and went from there. The wiring loom has some bents in it that have been formed whilst the loom was initially put on. This helps to get a general idea of how the wiring loom was run through the frame. I don't want to cause any wire breakage when it's all done. So I'm very meticulous at putting the wiring back exactly as it was when it left the factory.


It still looks like a completely tangled up piece of string and most of the connectors needs to be placed but it's starting to look like an actual bike again.
